Vampire Survivors is such an influential game that lots of games in the same style are popping up, but I bet you already knew that. Each game needs to differentiate itself with a unique theme. The recently released Outer Terror has a horror theme, for instance, and now Sunsoft's Ikki Unite has come along with a feudal Japanese setting. This one is a sequel to a classic Japanese arcade game, but it has lots of Vampire Survivors style and 16-player online co-op to make it appealing to modern gamers. After first appearing on Steam, Ikki Unite is now available on Switch as well.

In 1985, Sunsoft released a Japanese arcade game called Ikki. Many years later, a sequel has arrived in the form of Ikki Unite. The game depicts a feudal farming village that rises up to overthrow its evil overlords. Up to 16 players can team up online in the Steam version of Ikki Unite. Nintendo players will soon be able to join in the feudal fun when the Switch version arrives on April 18 courtesy of Sunsoft and Plug In Digital.

Soldak's got a new action-RPG, Din's Legacy, and if you've ever played a Soldak game, it's definitely more of that particular style of "cRPG meets aRPG from the late 90s." Basically, if you've ever looked at Path of Exile and thought, "sure, but could there be MORE systems," then you really need to take a look at Soldak's catalog.

Final Days kicked of last week's Monday Night Stream, with Nick and Jason diving head first into the twin stick shooter. The game itself is pretty basic - drop in with you and some friends against a set number of mutant enemies. Clear the enemies, move on to the next stage. 

ArmA 3, a game known for its hardcore simulation of military combat, is shifting its focus slightly with its latest DLC, "Laws of War".  Where much of the base game centers around the moment-to-moment action and tactical decisions required in a firefight, "Laws of War" hones in on the effects of those firefights on both civilians living in the area and humanitarian workers attempting to repair the damage done afterward.

A massive update landed for ArmA 3 this week, coinciding with the Apex Expansion launch. If you're an ArmA 3 player, you're in for a doozy of an update. This update clocks in at 9.6 GB or 1.5 GB, depending on whether you have Apex or not.

Finally, hardcore farming enthusiasts can dip their virtual spades into Mother Russia's fertile soil. Farming Simulator 15's new "Gold" DLC gives you and whatever 15 friends you indentured into farmhand service a brand new virtual playground in Eastern Europe. Well, I say "playground." It really depends on how riled up you get about heavy machinery that can speed-harvest turnips.

When it comes to farming sims, most people fall into one of three categories: love 'em, never touched one, and OMG Harvest Moon. No matter which camp you belong to, this trailer's going to get you ready for Farming Simulator 15 on PS4 and Xbox One. Not because it's flashy or clever, but because it shows you exactly what it's going to be like co-op farming on a next-gen console.

Ah, the life of a farmer.  Leading a simple, unadorned life.  Drinking Simpler Times lager.  Reading "Simple Living" magazine.  Catching squirrels and training them to relax on your porch on command.  Building tiny rocking chairs so that they, too, can contemplate the wonders of this physical plane while they chew on their acorns.  Assuming the moniker of "xxHardWorkEasyLivingxx" on a farming message board and flaming any cityfolk that dare post in that hallowed forum.  Oh, and also playing Farming Simulator 15 on consoles.

While many of us have been waiting a very long time for a true next generation installment of the Star Wars Battlefront series, some of us will have to wait just a little bit longer than others. Recently, Electronic Arts confirmed that the new Battlefront title will be playable first on Xbox One due to the EA Access program.

I've got a brand new Farming Simulator 15 trailer and you have a brand new key.  Let's put them both together in perfect harmony.  Out already on PC, Farm Sim 15 is coming to consoles on May 19th; harvest-tastic.   

Publisher Focus Home Interactive revealed that its agriculture-'em-up Farming Simulator 15 will hit the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in May with a console-first series of co-operative gameplay features.
